Blade Mistress doesn't rely on a single character level value, instead your character/avatar has individual experience points and levels and gains experince points by using those skills.

Right now, the available skills are Dodging, the various Sword Crafting skills, and nine different magic skills (corresponding to the nine Spirits of the World) - you can learn these from any Town Trainer (The green NPC).

You also have a Character Level which reflects how far your character has advanced from the start, this is based on how far you have developed your skills.
